Our results showed that a 3-month treatment with 10 mg rosuvastatin daily can significantly decrease the plasma levels ofd-dimer and MPV, which would support a potential role of statins to reduce activated systemic inflammation among VTE patients. Such effects can be used to reduce the rate of recurrent VTE in these patients.
